Do you like your Banksy pictures with a white or coloured background?

I think the popularity of the Jack & Jill over the CND picture shows that most people like a bit of colour.

What do you think?

[Honest Jon]

Hmmmm, dont know what colour to pick? Will have to have a little think, see I like g/w Ballon on white, I like Pulpfiction in black!!!!!!

[LoveRat]

I think the prints with the blue background work well, Jack &Jill,Happy Chopper and Flying Copper. Also works well on Eelus's Shat-at print .

[LoveRat]

Would anyone like to see some of the old prints released with a new background as they've done with the Eelus Shat-at print? (now available in red)

Any ideas?

[Daniel Silk]

Good Idea but I cant see POW doing it

1. The Rude Coper with a light blue background.

2. Laugh Now with Red background and different writing on the board.

3. Kate Moss done as an unsigned edition of 500, size about 50cm x 50cm for £100 each

[Honest Jon]

Think the only old print id like to see would be laugh now but with a different saying on the board, but then your gona be pissing ppl who have already got one off. Soo......

Think they should be original prints, wasnt impressed when they re-released the shat-at, I dono why cos I dont have one but I somewhat felt that it was less special as there is more of them!!!!

But thats just me, il keep quite now

Blue for me

[rosstierney]

i'd love an unsigned but numbered, or even unnumbered, different colourway of kate to those that already exist so everyone could own a piece of history. the forgers would also be unable to put fake signatures on them.

Jack and Jill is my alltime fav. Banksy, and love VLH, so I guess its colour for me...makes up for the lack of feet!!

[mimse]

Dont really put so much thought into the background color, it kinda depends of the motives/characters on the picture.

I wouldn't like to see a Toxic Mary with a Pink background for example, it doesn't really fit in.

Picked White by the way, fits with almost everything.

this is a very odd thread

I like the way that the APs have the different coloured backgrounds, like he was experimenting with them before deciding on the final colour

I think that my fav colour depends on the background but as I love Bomb Love/Hugger and J&J AP are pink then pink gets my vote, although Grannies does nowt for me as an image, so it all comes back to the image IMO

LOL love it

[dynamixx]

Good point, well made

[Sundowner]

I actually think the grey and silver backgrounds work really well (Nola, CWSB, Flags) as when you frame them up you can have a nice silver and black double-mount in a black frame that looks awesome!

This thread has got my thinking (thanks silk) what type of border do you prefer 1/2" or 1/4"?

me too...what side do people prefer the sig ?
I really like the right hand side, but think a sig on the left side would completely put me off

[doublehelix]

Do people prefer pen or pencil sigs?
Very inane thread!

Good question...I mean pencils cool, but it really depends on the colour

[schlomo]

Do people prefer blondes or brunettes? personally i dont think Nola would have worked if she had blonde hair.....
